Stop in for a cup of coffee

but - a boat is a toy (unless you're using it to make $$, which you're not) and when buying big toys ya gotta ask yourself - WHY am I doing this? WHAT am I really getting myself into? Are there costs that I am not foreseeing? Where am I going to keep it when I'm not using it? And what is the "end game"? (when you are done with it - then what?) - - I asked myself all these same questions before I committed to buying that trailer from Mitch..

I grew up around boats, as a kid, my dad and his wife picked me up for the weekends and we camped on a 32 something footer in a marina with pool and other amenities. Was fun as a kid. Later he bought a house on the water, and a 21 ft Wellcraft cuddy appeared. He made me take the Coast Guard class and cut me loose with it. By time I was 16 I knew every girls name up and down those lagoons.

Bejezzus H, I just realized I bought a boat as a mid-life crisis. I'm not 16. It's just not the same. :wtf: was I thinking.
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

yep i know. Thats why i'm looking at used boats. Honestly, there's a couple certified hull onlys around here from dealers, some brand new hulls, for less than a grand. I'm tempted to get a hull and build it the way i want but i know i'd never finish it with the other projects I have. I'm not buying anything till next spring, for this year, we'll just borrow my grandfather's 21 footer. it may be 30 years old, but it'll do for now.
